Great advice. A cheap guitar with a good setup will play and sound better than an expensive guitar with a bad setup.

I like solid state amps just fine, and there are so many options and features – especially with modeling amps. But there is just something extra special about a tube amp.

I especially like a simple, straightforward tube amp that takes pedals well. I found it lets me focus more on my playing and less on the fancy features. Low watt tube amps are about the only way I could really use a tube amp in my current home situation though..

I really like your list and you have a great site.

Here’s a list of my own, and I think there’s some overlap for good reason ;-)

In reply to Ronald Aldred. Right you are Ronald, there are tons of great pickups made by both brands mentioned. But in order to keep the article more concise, I chose to keep the focus on two major instruments from a historical viewpoint.

In reply to wil.

Excellent points Wil.
I’d like to add that if you take the time to look at products and brands objectively, you’ll notice that many of them are successful because of good marketing. Their products may not be “the best”, but they’ve been able to convince many that they are.

There is no “better” guitar in this case,it’s down to application and style to determine which one is best for the job. I like the bolt on aspect of Fender’s designs and the ergonomic bodies,esp the Stratocaster but not the single coil pups…so I have an HH Strat. Gibson’s cost too much for what they are,imho.

The debate is as subjective as the instruments themselves.
What wasn’t mentioned is the inferior build of both , that hide behind there “Brands”.
I believe people are no longer paying for quality,they are paying only for the label which becomes very apparent – with many of the builds coming into the North America market from the Far East..
There are many High quality guitar builders that compete at a fraction of North American costs while delivering a superior product like it or not..the likes of which Fender & Gibson cannot compete, resulting in the “Cut corner” junk they are throwing on the market…Sad State..
